Butter flavoring

Butter flavoring is a substance used to mimic the taste and aroma of real butter in foods. It often contains natural or artificial flavor compounds that replicate the creamy, rich profile of butter without using actual dairy. Some butter flavorings may include chemicals like diacetyl or other flavoring agents that produce a buttery scent and taste. It’s commonly used in baked goods, popcorn, and confections to enhance flavor. While generally safe when used as intended, some artificial flavorings have raised health concerns, prompting producers to seek alternatives.
